Actually Alex there are quite a few Cypherpunks on this list. I've
been using PGP since the 1.0 "bassmaster" edition. There's no real
reason to use it on an open list, besides since anyone can
subscribe, anyone would have access to the keys....

PGP was legally exported months ago, taking advantage of a loophole
in the law, the sourcecode was printed out, then legally
transported out of the country and keyboarded in elsewhere. Export
restriction bypassed......
